How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago

Postcode sector BL2 2 £210,000 £135,000 +56% since £103,500 +103% since £90,750 +131% since £110,000 +91% since
Bolton £225,000 £175,000 +29% since £135,000 +67% since £122,000 +84% since £125,000 +80% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
